  The SAP error message ICL_MAIN_OUT003 indicates that there is a missing or incorrectly configured RFC (Remote Function Call) destination for the policy system specified in the error message. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Insurance or Claims Management modules where integration with external systems is required.
  Cause:
  
  Missing RFC Destination: The specified policy system does not have an RFC destination defined in the SAP system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The RFC destination may exist but is not configured correctly (e.g., wrong connection parameters, incorrect user credentials).
  Authorization Issues: The user or system may not have the necessary authorizations to access the specified RFC destination.
  Network Issues: There may be network connectivity issues preventing the SAP system from reaching the specified RFC destination.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define RFC Destination:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 in the SAP GUI.
  Check if the RFC destination for the policy system exists. If it does not, create a new RFC destination.

  Enter the correct connection parameters, including the target host, service, and any necessary logon credentials.
  
  
  
  Test the RFC Connection:
  
  After creating or modifying the RFC destination, use the "Test Connection" feature in SM59 to ensure that the connection is working properly.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user or system account used for the RFC connection has the necessary authorizations to access the target system.
  
  
  
  Review Network Configuration:
  
  If the RFC destination is configured correctly but still not working, check for any network issues that may be preventing connectivity (e.g., firewalls, VPN issues).
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis team for specific configuration requirements related to the policy system you are trying to connect to.
